March is Women's History Month, and every Monday this month, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture is hosting its annual Women's Jazz Festival, featuring performances from female jazz artists. The first show features drummer and composer Shirazette Tinnin. Tinnin joins to talk about her sound alongside Novella Ford, Schomburg programming and exhibitions curator, to preview the Women's Jazz Festival.

Priscilla Gilman is the daughter of writer and theater critic Richard Gilman and famed literary agent Lynn Nesbit. When she was ten years old, her parents' marriage abruptly dissolved, leaving Priscilla with questions about her parents' true identities and the secrets they kept from her, and from each other. Gilman joins us to discuss her new memoir on the subject, The Critic's Daughter.

We speak to the winners of the Public Song Project and hear to their submissions. Kat Lewis discusses her summer-fun rewrite of “(I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for) Ice Cream.” Alice Lee explains her modern take on the archetypal country hit, “The Prisoners Song.” And Chloe and Lily Holgate, who perform as sybil, share the inspiration for their musical setting of the Edna St Vincent Millay poem, “Afternoon on a Hill.”

Then we take a tour through highlights from the just-launched listener-generated WNYC Public Songbook, and hear more creative submissions. Public Song judges Paul Cavalconte (host of New Standards), Shanta Thake (chief artistic officer of Lincoln Center), and musician DJ Rekha join us to reflect on the project and some favorite tunes.
